My impression for using this rubber for 9 months before changing to normal Sriver is moderate speed and very soft rubber. In my opinion, I feel FX version is too soft to have a good control on the ball, at least for my BH game. When opening the loop, you have to get much accurate adjustment than normal Sriver or the ball will go long off the table. I also feel that it is too springy for me to keep up the fast rallies to keep the ball low and aggressive. Maybe it is good for beginner who does not have a lot of power or for speed glue plays but otherwise stick with normal version of Sriver.

got this as my first custom rubber for a cheap, 5 ply JOOLA bladePerfect for beginners:

not too fastabove average spin, similair to joola bravespeed similair to 5q sound but a bit sloweraverage throwsoft and consistent- perfect for beginnersfantastic blocking: control and accuracy and if taken early, often a counterspin like shot

pushing and chopping is greatlifting backspin isnt too difficult because rubber isnt too tack so backspin on ball doesnt sit on the rubber. however, the rubbers speed makes for a short trajectory on the shotgood smashingsuprisingly good drivesok spin on serve

my very first jap rubber! 2.1, used in my FH on a vsg 1000 and 2000. anyway, it suited my slow spinny loop way back then, chops are high as sky, flicks are hard to do since its bouncy. speed is not the issue, you sacrifice it for spin.

This was a rubber made for speed glue, which of course is now banned. It's spin and speed is just ok. this rubber is now for control. It is average at best for spinny serves. It's great for a beginner looking to develop their shots. I am using it to work on my backhand, which is much weaker than my forehand. It allows you to develop the correct technique without worrying about missing. It is light and soft and completely non-tacky. It plays well close to the table, further back it requires some effort.

That being said, in max thickness it can produce some pretty fast backhand flicks. Not as fast my Vega Europe, but still enough to win the point. It feels a little dead sometimes, but it gets the job done. Soon I'll be able to 'graduate' from my sriver fx once my technique is sorted. :)

this blade is quite good for those who just starts to play table tennis. it has balanced speed, spin, and control. but i can say that the spin and control is better than the speed. compared to the price, i really recommend this for beginner and experienced player

This rubber is only for those that lack confidence to put the ball away. A good player (i.e. good footwork and power) would smach the crap out of the ball if one looped with this. I would recommend a thinner sriver or sriver el for more control over this rubber.
